Scener Unites Streaming Service Users with Virtual Movie Nights

With movie theaters temporarily closed and people unable to host cozy movie nights with friends, virtual movie nights are being held instead with the help of plug-ins like Scener. With this tool, Netflix subscribers are able to come together from across the United States to enjoy content that's perfectly in sync. The Chrome app also offers video chat and messaging features to help viewers share their reactions in real-time. The plugin uses a computer's webcam to capture video and offers a fun way for people to digitally come together to watch their favorite shows and movies.

Scener requires that users within the United States have a Netflix subscription service and unlike some co-watching apps, it only works with just the one streaming service provider.
